White House fears a Philly hot spot but the city says cases are slowing | Morning Newsletter - The Philadelphia Inquirer

Earlier yesterday, Dr. Deborah Birx said that the White House Coronavirus Task Force was looking for trends, mentioning Washington, Baltimore, and Philadelphia as places the group is “concerned” about. Vice President Mike Pence echoed her concerns about Philadelphia later in the day.

But while she didn’t offer any specifics about Philly, Farley questioned what figures the task force was looking at. The city announced 505 new cases yesterday, giving the city 4,777 confirmed cases of the coronavirus.

Gov. Tom Wolf also chimed in, appearing to embrace Birx’s concerns about Philadelphia as a way to get more productive gear for medical workers and first responders.

Even so, 13 weeks into the coronavirus era some are still questioning whether the new disease is bad enough to warrant an economic shutdown when influenza, a disease that kills thousands every year, is treated as an annual inconvenience. In reality, there are a number of major differences, ranging from the presence of a vaccine and the existence of proven antiviral treatments to death and hospitalization rates.

Sanders, a registered independent and democratic socialist, will now look to continue to push the party’s agenda to the left. Biden, in a statement, acknowledged the coalition Sanders built. "Make no mistake about it, I believe it’s a movement that is as powerful today as it was yesterday,” Biden said.
